This pic was from G’s 40th birthday 12 years ago in Vegas. This dress is still hanging up in my closet. I can still wear it but it fits a bit differently because there’s a bit more of me to love nowadays. While I have given away several items over the years, I’m still hangingContinue reading “Inside Out”

Thanksgiving Random Thoughts
I’m thankful for new experiences. I’m grateful to have been able to quash the sometimes panicked voices in my head to overcome whatever the struggle was at the time. I’m thankful for being able to speak up for myself and others. I’ve learned over the years that if I don’t, I will become resentful andContinue reading “Thanksgiving Random Thoughts”
“I Can’t Make You Love Me”
If you lost your cell phone and had no way of retrieving all of your contacts, how would you go about rebuilding your database? It’s unlikely that would ever happen since all of our data lives in the “cloud,” but it got me to thinking. Who can I call in an emergency? Who wants toContinue reading ““I Can’t Make You Love Me””
Step By Step
I don’t care much for heights. I’ve climbed Pinnacle Mountain a few times and I’ve never enjoyed it. I love to see my friends take pictures with their loved ones after they have climbed to the top, but I’ve always been too nervous. A few months ago I had the opportunity to fly in aContinue reading “Step By Step”
Choices Then and Now
On the way to and from church today, my mind wandered about the things that may have consumed my mother’s attention when she was my age. When she was 49, she was working as a substitute teacher in the Pulaski County Special School District, carting me from piano lessons in North Little Rock to UALRContinue reading “Choices Then and Now”
Here’s to More “Happy” Days
I can count on one hand the times that I have hosted my family on a holiday. Mainly because I don’t enjoy cooking holiday food (or much more than breakfast food if I’m totally honest). It’s also because once when I hosted, I felt tension in my home amongst a few of my guests, andContinue reading “Here’s to More “Happy” Days”
Holiday Fashion Tips
A few weeks ago I shared that I went to a ball and was ecstatic that I wore a gown that was comfortable and stylish at the same time. Even though the Omicron variant is here, I feel that we will still be celebrating at holiday parties, so it’s time for some tips on howContinue reading “Holiday Fashion Tips”
Random Thanksgiving Thoughts
I originally wrote this a year ago, but the sentiments remain the same. If you’re not out shopping, enjoy. Random Thanksgiving Thoughts. They aren’t as lighthearted as my previous entries, and that’s okay. Plus, you’re most likely not doing much today, hopefully, so you might as well read my musings. Or don’t. I’m thankful forContinue reading “Random Thanksgiving Thoughts”
Feeling Fancy
Last night I attended a formal affair and put on a fancy dress. The best part about that particular dress is that I wasn’t worried about having to hold in my stomach the whole night. I didn’t think much about this 10 or even five years ago. Keeping weight off in older age is indeedContinue reading “Feeling Fancy”
